I wasn't able to update last night because I was at Mae's birthday last last night and I was too tired. And Sien was there. Heehee. Share.

PS: Check out the attached photo in this chapter. That's my appreciation letter to everyone. <3

Chapter Fifty-Five

"Oy, Salazar. Chocolate?" Iwinagayway sa akin ni Pamela ang isang bar ng chocolate na Mars. Umiling ako at inalis ang tingin sa kanya.

Maya maya ay naramdaman ko ang chocolate na kanyang binato sa aking binti. I don't know why she did that, siguro ay bilang ganti niya sa akin. Just maybe.

Inilapag ko iyon sa table na kaharap ko. Chocolate might boost my mood but I'm not into it right now. Mas lalo pa akong naging irritable nang mapaisip ako kung bakit dito pa ako pinapunta ni Jairus dahil gusto niyang makipagkita sa akin.

"Oy Brian, tumingin ka naman. Smile lang!"

Itinaas ni Pamela ang kanyang phone para mag picture na hagip ang mukha ko. Ngumiti ako nang sandali at napawi ito nang matapos siyang mag picture.

"Gwapong gwapo." Sabi ni Pam habang tinitignan ang mga litratrong nakuha niya kanina lang. "You know, you should smile often. Sa ngayon parang lagi ka ng pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa."

I gave her a faint smile in return. I don't want to talk. Yeah, I don't kung hindi lang din naman si Natalie ang kakausap sa akin. Wala akong gana. 

"If it's anything about your studies, I can help. But the Brian I knew could never fail even his major. So I am assuming it's something but that. Tell me, love life ba?"

Tinignan ko lang siya at tila nakuha na niya ang senyales na ayaw ko na munang makipagusap. But it didn't stop her from giving me her last words.

"I am here, Brian. Hindi naman ako aalis. You can always find me."

Pamela is a nice girl. I just didn't know what came to my mind to crash what was happening between us back then. Siguro ay naisip kong mas mabuti kung magaaral muna ako at walang distraction.

But how come I am with my majors now and I still finds time to talk and bond with Natalie?

God, that girl! I miss her.

Tumayo ako para lumabas ng faculty dahil may klase pa ako sa World Lit. Umagang umaga ay ganito ang inaabot ko, baka pumangit lang ang timpla ng pakiramdam ko.

Umabot na kami sa syllabus kung saan kailangan naming i-discuss ang short story na The Necklace. Kahit simpleng storya lang iyon ay hindi ko maiwasang iugnay ang nangyari roon sa nangyayari sa akin, sa amin, ngayon. Lalo na't katabi ko siya at kasama sa klaseng ito. Ang klaseng pinaghirapan kong alamin at kunin dahil lang nandito siya.

I was not blind to see how heavy her feelings were. She's too unsteady in this class and I obviously know why. It's because of me, and if I could drop this class just so she could move at ease, I will. But I won't. This is my class and it's my prerogative to take this, and... I want the sight of her. Even just for an hour.
